Amazing recipe! I just found it, but have made it twice already. My kids love it. I substituted one cup of whole wheat flour for 1/2 cup of wheat germ and 1/2 cup of ground flax seed. I also added a tablespoon of cinnamon (we love cinnamon) and doubled the vanilla. And, like the others suggested, I did double the milk to 1/2 cup. The first time I did not put the batter in the refrigerator but it still turned out fine. We also prefer them rolled out thin. They are not so much like the store bought ones that way. They really taste better! I also substituted a stick of butter for the shortening (healthier). And, I sprinkled it with cinnamon/sugar and rolled it into the dough before I cut them. My kids are young and like them smaller. Just make sure you cut them before you bake them! Thanks for such a great, simple recipe. No more Nabisco for us!

These are terrific! My toddler loves crackers and I wanted to find something that would be more healthy than whole wheat Ritz. These fit the bill - I substituted 1/2 c flax seed (next time I'll grind it) and 1/2 c of oat bran for 1 c of the whole wheat flour and upped the milk to 1/2 c based on others' suggestions. I used my silicone (Silpat) baking mats and rolled the dough right on it as thin as I could. I cut the dough into little rectangles w/ a pizza cutter and sprinkled cinnamon sugar (1 T sugar + 1/2 t cinnamon) over them. After they had cooled I broke the crackers apart along the lines I made w/ the pizza cutter, which worked great. The crackers that came out soft I put back in the oven (after I had turned it off) and left them overnight. This morning they were all wonderfully crispy! Next time I think I will cut back a little on the brown sugar, especially if I use the cinnamon/sugar topping again. I'm so glad I found these!!

used butter not shortening, and 1/2 a cup of milk, sprinkled with cinnamon sugar and we love them!!!!

The crackers tasted most wonderful, and it was very easy to make. I added extra milk to make it easier to mix, and the crackers came out fine. Roll out the dough as thin as you can handle - they'll taste better!

I gave this recipe a 5 star review because it makes an AWESOME cheesecake crust. My children like to eat them just as crackers, and everyone likes the crusts they make.

this is a great recipe! my daughter and the two boys i babysit loved the crackers. i will make this one again. I did how ever had another 1/4 cup of milk to get the right texture other than that the recipe is perfect.

These are so good! I needed graham cracker crumbs for pie crust. I turned to this trusted site and came across this recipe. These are so much better than the store bought. I used whole wheat graham flour instead of just whole wheat. I'm not sure what the difference is. I, too had to use more milk . Thanks so much for sharing this great recipe!

This cracker recipe is wonderful!! My kids, from my toddler to my teenager all loved them and gobbled them up! I made some plain as the recipe directs, and I also sprinkled some with a mixture of 1 tsp. cinnamon to 1 Tbsp. granulated sugar before baking. I liked the cinnamon variety better, although the plain was good too and went just as fast. I was surprised at how great a yield I got from one recipe. I tried a short cut and rolled them out directly on the cookie sheet, and then used a pizza cutter to cut them into crackers. I then broke them apart after they were done baking and had cooled a bit. The edges are a little crumbly that way, but it goes much faster. Using parchment paper would have been a great idea too, which I will do next time!

Great cracker. I had to add more milk however, to make the dough pliable. Also, very important to roll these out very thin. If not, then it becomes a cookie with a very heavy wheat flavor.

These are really good. I did take sanzoe's advice and used 1/2 cup milk instead of 1/4. I also used whole wheat graham flour cause that's all I had and it worked out fine. Sprinkle them with cinn/sugar....MMMMMM! These will become a regular in our house! Thanks for sharing!
